2 May God be merciful to us, and bless us; may he grant us the favour of his smile. 3 Make known thy will, O God, wide as earth; make known among all nations thy saving power. 4 Honour to thee, O God, from the nations, honour from all the nations! 5 The Gentiles, too, may rejoice and be glad; a whole world abides thy judgement, and the Gentiles, too, obey on earth thy sovereignty. 6 Honour to thee, O God, from the nations, honour from all the nations! 7 The land has yielded its harvest; such bounty God, our own God, affords. 8 God grant us ever his blessing, and may earth, far and wide, do him reverence.
